End of Day 2 Update

End of day 2 on Sub taper...  I felt pretty good all day minus the lil bit of RLS and some anxiety.. I have to say I don't like the way I feel on this stuff.. makes my head cloudy and I feel a bit jumpy. I am looking forward to tapering off of it as soon as possible. I am gonna cut a mg or 2 tommorrow since I am going back to work. I did just take a half of a clonidine I hope that helps with the jumpiness.. Its been 6 hours since my last dose of Sub. I have taken the same amount today as yesterday. Maybe it is some of the WD peeking through since I am on such a low dose. I am kinda sweaty and restless. I don't know if its the Sub itself or WD.. strange..
I also really wanted to rip into that young girl below posting about taking vicodin..I am sorry about that.. it just irks me.. being that young and that naive and asking questions like that..I am a bit on edge so I apologize.
I hope everyone is having a good day.. I will be around for a little while..

Yeah just hang in there i wish you the best of luck you seem to be a big part of this forum your words have stuck out to me you give good advice.  So maybe i can give you some, no matter what you take, to alter your mindset, or "make yourself feel better" if it's not natural high or love it's not meant to be....that's why we have the bad after effects it's our own fault our own hole we dug but we can get back up after falling into that hole and we can feel good after the bad part is gone :) it's just getting rid of the bad part first w/o relapsing.....that's the hard part eh? lol best of luck to ya

Lots of love, B

Hey just wanted to comment on your comment. I thought that Sub helped me out a lot. I was reserved at first, thinking, "well if you don't get a buzz, how does it help?" But anyway, I did notice that the last few days I was on it I was taking a very low dosage, and it almost felt like I hadnt taken anything. Like you said, I felt sweaty and restless. It was like my WD was telling me that it was on its way. Like Ive said on the thread I started though, now that I don't have any, its suckin big time. Good luck man.

I actually was posting to you below as you were posting to me...I am on a low dose anyway... I had tapered my hydro habit down to 3 pills a day prior to starting the SUB.. I am only using it to taper while in WD..  My doc was kinda ignorant I think.. So I did alot of research. I took 5mgs yesterday. He wanted me to take 16mgs...  Today he said I would need a bit more since the hydro would be leaving my body so I took 6 mgs today. I am feeling pretty good now.  I do have a headache. I am gonna taper back to 5 mg tomorrow. then to 4mgs on Friday and Sat. Then 2mgs on Sun.
Hope my post below helped some...

Ya you're helping alot and I thank you. You just reminded me with your headache comment though.....I constantly had headaches on them. I never put 2 and 2 together though. I figured it was just some form of WD peaking through. But now that I think about it, as bad as I feel right now, I don't have a headache. So yea it might be a side effect of Sub.
